My car was stolen, and driven to excess, in that there is now a knocking sound coming from the engine, that wasn't occuring before. I think it has been rallied about at excessive speeds.
The car does not look badly damaged - needs a new passenger door due to the way they broke in, and ignition wires have been pulled out.
I put it through an M.O.T less than 1 month ago, costing me £160, and I also have an excess of £150 to pay in order to claim my insurance. Currently, there is a bill of £150 increasing by £20 per day as it is in storage at a recovery garage. The car is only worth around £500, but my main concern is the damage that may be unable to detect i.e. the damage done to the engine.
Is it likely that my insurance co will write the car off? I am wary, that they will want to repair it, and it costs me £150, when the engine might seize a week later due to the way it was driven?
Any advice?
